Abstract

Over the last decades the requirement specifications for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) form the central network for the process risk and hazard assessment to be carried out. SIS are flexible and effective tools for guarding the process plants. Our approach is based on how a new hierarchical decision level can complete the mission regarding safety when the control room is not functional or cannot act properly in a hazard situation. Layers of protection should be used in order to reduce the risk to an acceptable level. The key is risk and hazard control implemented as a superior hierarchical level of decision and intervention. Emerging technologies used for engineering and implementing is the approach that can help the designers to apply the proposed system architecture. The simulation and concurrent engineering are basic approaches to accomplish the functionalities of new system architecture and the results of an R&D project (PH Center) show the feasibility. Based remotely from the site the Process Help Center host not only the copy of the process control system but the strategies and algorithms to accomplish the safety and security tasks, maintain the process operation, run the simulation and optimization.
